One account. NFL parlays, live dealer, and your wallet in one place
Registering with draftkings puts same-game parlays, player props, and live dealer tables behind a single login — funded through PayPal, Venmo, or a Play+ prepaid card. Available where state law permits, so check your eligible state before you start.
How we protect your account and data
Registration asks for sensitive personal details, and we treat that seriously. Every step from form entry to wallet funding runs over an encrypted connection. Identity data is used only for state-required verification and is not shared with third-party marketing. Once your account is active, two-factor authentication adds a second check at every login — especially useful when you switch between your phone and a desktop browser mid-session.
SSL Encryption
All registration data, including your SSN last four and payment details, travels over an SSL-secured connection. Nothing transmits in plain text at any point in the process.
Identity Verification
State gaming regulations require us to confirm who you are before the wallet opens. We match your details against official records — the check happens once, not repeatedly.
Two-Factor Authentication
Enable two-factor authentication in account settings to add an SMS or authenticator-app code to every login. Strongly recommended if you switch between mobile and desktop.
Data Protection
Your account information is used only for verification, account management, and state-required reporting. We do not sell or share personal data with advertisers.
Local payment options for your draftkings wallet
Three local payment rails cover most account holders in eligible states. PayPal and Venmo let you push funds directly from an app you already have on your phone — no new card number to enter. Play+ works as a prepaid account card that you load, then spend from your draftkings wallet. All three support both deposits and withdrawals, though processing steps may vary depending on your state and verification status. Pick the one that matches how you move money day to day.
Where to go if registration hits a snag
Most registration issues come down to one of three things: identity verification, state eligibility, or a payment link that didn't connect. Each has a direct path to a solution. Live chat is the quickest route for anything that stops mid-flow. If you're in Las Vegas or anywhere else in an eligible state and need to troubleshoot a Play+ card link or a Venmo authorization error, the same help channels apply.
How the registration flow works
You'll enter your name, address, date of birth, and the last four digits of your Social Security number — standard identity verification required under state gaming regulations. Once your details clear, you pick a username and a strong password, then link your first funding method: PayPal, Venmo, or Play+. The wallet screen appears right after
verification so you can load your account without hunting through menus. From there, the full lobby is open — NFL moneylines, same-game parlays, college football point spreads, and live dealer tables are all on the same dashboard. If your state is not currently on the eligible list, the form will let you know before you
get deep into the process. Questions at any step can go to live chat or the account-help section.
-
Identity Check Name, address, date of birth, and SSN last four are collected once. State gaming rules require this before any wallet activity or betting access begins.
-
Wallet Setup Link PayPal, Venmo, or your Play+ prepaid card right after verification clears. No extra navigation — the funding screen loads as the next step automatically.
-
State Eligibility Access depends on where you are and what state law allows. The registration form checks your location early so there are no surprises at the end.
-
Account Security Choose a strong password during setup. Two-factor authentication is available in account settings, and all session data moves over an encrypted connection.

Common questions about opening an account
If something about the sign-up process isn't clear, these are the questions we hear most often. Account creation, verification, payment linking, and state eligibility are the four areas that come up again and again.
